Hello madhavi.. i agree wid al d moms as well carrots r v gud fr babies n help in bowel movement.. fr constipation u try to increase water in baby routine also watever u feed once a day keep it lil watery like khichdi or even carrot puree lil thin atleast it helps to mak their water intake adequate..

Hi Madhavi, carrot contains fibre and fibre helps in bowel movement. I agree with Jaya that you should also feed adequate amount of water to the baby to aid digestion. Also, try feeding very small quantities of any food in the beginning. Gradually start increasing the quantity once the baby's digestive system gets accustomed to it.

Hi.. as far as I know carrot cannot be the reason. When you start with solids you must also give the baby enough water to avoid constipation. Try giving enough water to him and If the problem persists discuss the same with your doc.
